[Solved] don't understand how localization works

[Maxence]

Hi telerik Team,

like the built in localization for french culture have some translation errors (translation of "hours" must be "heures" and not "heurs", ...).
i would like to use a resource file to put the right translation. i read your article about localization and it seems very easy but i never used localization and i didn't manage to make it works.
I create a folder "localization" and add it a new resources file named "ScheduleViewResources.fr.resx"
containing some translations :

AllDayEvent	Evènement pour la journée
AppearanceCategory	Apparence
Appointment	Rendez-vous
AppointmentRecurrence	Périodicité du rendez-vous

i put this in the constructor of my page who display the radscheduleview :

public SchedulePage()
 {

LocalizationManager.Manager = new LocalizationManager()
{
   ResourceManager = ScheduleViewResources.ResourceManager
};

 InitializeComponent();
ViewModel = new ScheduleViewModel();
this.DataContext = ViewModel;
}
like mentionned in the article but "ScheduleViewResources" is not recognized, what is it ? is it a custom class that i have to create ?

is there some other changes to do ?

thanks by advance for your information,

Regards,

Maxence

Hi Maxence,

Here are some things you could have missed:

Set the access modifier of ScheduleViewResources.resx to public.
Set the access modifier of ScheduleViewResources.fr.resx to No code generation.
Set the CurrentCulture to French :

public App()
{
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr");
    System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("fr");
    this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
    this.Exit += this.Application_Exit;
    this.UnhandledException += this.Application_UnhandledException;

    InitializeComponent();
}

Add French to SupportedCultures tag into your .csproj file:

<SupportedCultures>en;fr;</SupportedCultures>

Hope this helps.
